RoseMary to making a living through Sewing
I first gained basic sewing skills at Springs of Hope Foundation, where we were trained before I joined the Nakuru Textile Hub on 24th March. Joining the hub became a turning point in my life because I was able to perfect and improve my sewing skills. Through the small stipend I received, I felt motivated and encouraged to continue learning and growing in the fashion and tailoring industry. During my training at the Nakuru Textile Hub, I learned how to operate different types of machines such as the button attachment machine, buttonhole machine, overlock machine, and cutting machine. I also gained experience in sewing different types of garments including raincoats, fleece jackets, blazers, and many others. Apart from sewing, I learned how to draft patterns and interpret designs for dresses, trousers, and shirts. Throughout the training, I greatly benefited in terms of building my confidence, operating sewing machines professionally, and taking clients’ measurements accurately. One thing I will never forget is the mentorship classes that helped me learn more about life, discipline, perseverance, and personal growth. These lessons have shaped me into a more confident and focused person. Today, I am confident that I can start and manage my own sewing business if I get support with startup capital. I am very grateful for the opportunity I received at the Nakuru Textile Hub. This is a place I would highly recommend to friends and other young people who would like to pursue sewing and fashion design as a career. I would like to sincerely thank the director, Regina, for giving me this opportunity and supporting my journey toward becoming skilled and self-reliant.

Irene's Impact story to Fashion and Design
My name is Irene Okech, and joining the Nakuru Textile Hub has been one of the most life-changing opportunities in my life. When I joined the hub, I only had basic skills in dressmaking and did not fully understand fashion and design as a career. I had the passion to learn, but I lacked confidence, exposure, and professional skills. Since joining the hub, I have learned many new things that have greatly improved my skills and personal growth. I have gained knowledge in freehand cutting, sketching, drafting patterns, interpreting designs, and garment construction. I have also learned how to work under pressure, meet deadlines, and produce quality work. Through the support and mentorship of trainer Esther, I learned the importance of perseverance, confidence, and believing in myself. She encouraged me to keep practicing and improving my skills until I discovered the potential I had within me. Even when I faced financial and personal challenges, I did not give up because I knew I was growing and becoming better every day. Today, I can proudly say that I feel ready to start my own tailoring business. My dream is to open tailoring shops that will help empower young mothers to become independent and support themselves despite the challenges they face in life.
